ADJUSTABLE "corr, 1 y t relapse.

"Be it knoivn that I, FLoyi) N.` Pntcihacitizen of the United States, residingat Fay-q ettevillmin` the county of lllashington `and State of Arkansas, :liavepinvented certain` new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Cults; and Indo hereby declare the following make and use thesanie. t

The object of thelinvention is to blouses for women and reversible cuff construction lhavingj" a plurality of` interchangeably usableiculfelements, either of `which maybe exposed, With-f"u out detachment from the shirt sleevel andi each ot' which is adapted to foi-ina satisfacitorylinish for the sleeve, each `cliff',element a in its reversed positionsitlie cuff member ot'` the length of they active portion ot tliesleeve, as byprojecting` E effects an adjustment to a greater' orless eXtentand thus forming a longer or shorterysleeve and cuff` coni-` y bined. i i

A further and supplentidentalobiectlof` invention is to provide a cufl` construction such that one or the` other. of the elements'3" may beexposed, when one becomes soile `d,` and whereby the `durability or length of-` derstood that changes may be resorted to within the scopeof the claims Without de-` parting' from the spirit thereof. t i

sent a clean cuil edge for view. Also obviously the reverse of the above described adjustment is attended by the same advantages.

of a sleeve, as for Aexample to adapt a shirt of a given size or measurement to wearers having different lengths of arms, or to wearers having different taste as to n of the sleeve of` the shirt,` that is as to whether the edge of the eul' shall show be yond the coat sleeve ,or not, and it is also at vtimes desirable to provide for an exposure slightlyrof the cuff when a coat is worn, while preferable to have a shorterk sleeve when the coat is removed, as in office work,4v where the sleeve 1s thereby held out of the way of thewearer in writingand handling papers and so forth, and to secure this urther advantage, connection 'of the cuff member to the sleeve may be arranged at a point nearer one edge of the blank forming the cuff than the other edge,.so that for example the cuff element 15 is short or narrow, while the cuff element 16 is long or broad as shown in the drawing. thisarrangement, when the vided, as for example when the coat is worn so'as to show a. portion 'of the cuil' element the position of the cuil shorter element 15 is exposed, and the difference in the length of the active portion of the sleeve will depend upon thefposition of' the line of attachment with reference to the edges of the cud and cuil blank for ad* justment respectively of said cui element. It

will.A be seen moreover that in the different adjustments of thel cuff member, di'erent portions orl the surface-of the member are exposed and when one cuff element is exposed, or arranged in operative position, the portion ofthe surface which was exposed when the other cuff element was' in use, is

now concealed, 4so that in the event that one cuff' element has become soiled in use, 'the the length the line ofl attachment or.

is exposed as shown in Fig. l'v av longer active portion of the sleeve is prof jlongitudnal center exposure of the other cuff element will place such soiled portion Where it will not be visible.

The sleeve is provided with button holes 17 which aline with button holes 18 of the cuff when the shorter portion of the enii is extended thereby permitting a cuff button to be extended through the alining openings to secure the ends together when the shorter portion of the cuil' is extended. The single. set Lof button holes 18 are disposed centrally of the longitudinal edges of the cuff there-- by rendering the cuil' button openings usable when either portion of the cufl" is extended. Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:

1.*The combination With a sleeve, and a cuff secured thereto at a point spaced from its longitudinal renter thereby providing relatively long and short portions, said culi' having a single set of button holes centrally of its longitudinal edges, said sleeve having button holes alining with the button holes of said cuit when the sho'rt portion of the cni is extended, the button holes of said cui being adapted for use when either portion of the culi' is extended.

2. The combination with a sleeve, of a cuil secured thereto at a point spaced from its thereby providing relatively long and short ortions, folds secured to the longitudinal e ges of said cuff, said cuil and the folds of the relatively long portion` having button holes' dis osed centrally of the longitudinal edges o the cuff, said sleeve having button holes alining with the button holes of said fold and said cuff when the shorter portion of the cui is extended, the button holes of said cuff being adapted for use when yeither portion of the culi is extended.,

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
